This is my contact page. You may post me a message here! Whether it's about this wiki's topic, something I've done, or a message about editing in general etc. Alternately, if your message is not about this wiki's topic, you can send it to me on Community Central. I can help with anything wikitext, HTML and most CSS.

I wouldn't bother with him at all, as all he does is complain about how LW is bad because someone proved him wrong. Its funny how he says he doesn't care but his constant posting kind of proves him otherwise. Just ignore him - in fact don't even bother looking at his wiki cause that'll just give him pageviews he doesn't deserve. If he continues to harass you, consider contacting Wikia at Special:Contact/general. Otherwise, I'm glad I could help find a template to suit your purposes.

Hello! I know it's been a while, but the big cleanup looks as though it's well underway and I was was hoping that I could rejoin the community again. School and other wikis have had me busy, but I would love to come back here.

As you may be aware, this April 3rd will be Locomotive Wiki's 4th Anniversary! Are there any plans, possibly to celebrate? Of course, next April 3rd would be more appropriate, since it will be the 5th Anniversary. Then, if the Locomotive Wiki did gather for some celebration, not in real life of course, there wouldn't be much to commerate the anniversary. The only thing I came up with is creating a sub-article on the 'history' of Locomotive Wiki, including it's founder's inspiration maybe. Just asking, since it doesn't go by not noticed by anyone.

Hey, I have been on holiday for a few days (which I regretted even before I went). But, yes, we are going to celebrate. It's a lot closer to the date than I wanted, but I am likely to invite users to login on the 3rd and get on Special:Chat. This will be an announcement, undoubtedly placed on the mainpage and in community corner. I hoped to think of something extra, but I think a big friendly chat between everybody should be nice. We talk about articles and organization, but we rarely actually talk about trains without it being a problem with an article.

I was wondering if I could have your permission to use the piston image you have created as a part of a participation badge that will be handed out to approx 80 people from the Australian Air League, for the upcoming Queensland Group Review. Cadets from across Australia come together each year to compete in competition against each other and I hand out a different embroidered badge each year, consistant with the theme, this years being about pistons and propellors.

I believe you are referring to File:LW piston.svg, if so that is my image and I don't see anything wrong with your intended usage. :) However, that's not very legal and it doesn't make my intentions clear, so I'll license the image to you:

I, "Starfleet Academy", grant Michael Lawlor of the Australian Air League (Queensland Group) non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to use, transform and build upon my illustration of a piston and connecting-rod originally known as "LW piston.svg", for the purpose of creating a ‘participation badge that will be handed out to ... [individuals] ... from the Australian Air League’ in any format, and size unrestricted. For distribution in Australia only. No use by third-parties. For the duration of one (1) year.— http://locomotive.wikia.com/wiki/?oldid=34973

If you would like me to send the license above via email for records/easier printing/whatever, or if you want me to alter the license please contact me at: mailto:starfleet.academy@bigpond.com

I may not be able to reply straightaway, as you've just caught me before I'm going to be unavailable for a few days. Crediting me anywhere (such as in publications) is unnecessary; although, I am grateful you contacted me about using this image. The Australian Air League sounds like a great organization, and I'm happy to be able to contribute in this small way. Good luck with the badge, and the Review. :)

Sounds great! I've been meaning to get on that, because some of those images are copyrighted too. *hysterical laugh* But I'll fix the ones already created, since it'll be boring, so you can focus on the fixing creating new ones if you like?

The achievements of the Special Achievements track probably should maintain their default titles, since they welcome users. "Welcome to Locomotive Wiki" probably wouldn't hurt. None of the images are sacred, however, not even the ones already done if you feel something else would be better!

Feel free to tell me to leave it to you, and to stop fretting about change. :) Although, please give them title case rather than capitalizing each word. That's what I would regard as the most important thing; boy, I can be a prick sometimes... but I don't care! xD
